I guess it would work - although it would probably trip loop detectors too soon in some cases - but I don't think an appproach that effectively calls for a message to lie about where it has been is a good idea.

AOL. There aren't any RFCs that say "Don't insert inaccurate Received fields", but it still seems to have very bad karma ;)

I think we need another mechanisms, probably header-based.

"Auto-Submitted: auto-generated" is defined in RFC 3834 section 5. 3834 orders autoresponders to be careful about incoming auto-submitted messages. If similar language is added to the relevant sieve documents, the result should be fine. At least in theory.
